26. Sita, a student of class XII, was suffering from malaria. The area where she lived was full 
of mosquitoes. She was not having mosquito net. Her friend Gita had an extra net. She 
gave it to Sita. Also she took Sita to a Doctor, got her medicines. After a week Sita 
became normal. 
(a) Comment upon the qualities of Gita. 
(b) The mosquito net over a 7 m x 4m bed is 3m high. The net has a hole at one corner 
of the bed through which a mosquito enters the net. It flies and sits at the diagonally 
opposite upper corner of the net. 
(i) Find the magnitude of the displacement of the mosquito. 
(ii) Taking the hole as the origin, the length of the bed as the x-axis, its width as the 
y-axis and vertically up as the z-axis, write the components of the displacement 
vector.           (4)
